“What do you enjoy doing with Mummy?” I ask N during the video recording of his 5th birthday interview. “Making pancakes,” he replied. You could have knocked me over with a feather there and then. I knew he liked eating pancakes, but oh how I beamed from ear to ear when he said that spending time with me making pancakes was what he enjoyed doing with me.
